    The best bards are Frontline tanks. Get enemies to attack you with persuasion/well RP’d cutting words for max feelings damage, get blasted, inspire the party to the acts of heroism they will need to save their idiot bard

      I just realized how funny the concept is that we gloss over that bards basically spend the 30 seconds a fight lasts just complementing people one after the other. It feels right when combat is spaced out over a few hours, but when you condense it back down to 30 seconds it just gets goofy again.
